Today, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s essential. While large corporations often make headlines for cyberattacks, small businesses are increasingly becoming prime targets. According to recent studies, over 60% of small businesses hit by a cyberattack go out of business within six months. This is a wake-up call for local companies in Richmond, Surrey, and across Metro Vancouver to take proactive steps to protect their data, employees, and customers.

At StarX Consulting, we specialize in helping small and medium-sized businesses implement affordable, effective IT security solutions designed to prevent threats before they happen. Based locally in Richmond, BC, with support also available in Surrey, our team of cybersecurity experts is just minutes away when you need us.

Many business owners mistakenly believe they’re too small to be noticed by cybercriminals. Unfortunately, hackers know that smaller companies often lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves. Common attacks include:
- Phishing emails that trick employees into revealing sensitive information
- Ransomware that locks you out of your systems until a fee is paid
- Data breaches exposing customer or financial information
- Malware that disrupts operations and damages systems

Even a minor breach can cost thousands in lost revenue, customer trust, and legal fees.
